The upper-half bracket looks a lot rougher, starting with baalz and wraithlord facing off in round 1 (ouch!), and continuing with a number of pretty decent players, so i'd be more likely to bet on an upset in the upper bracket than the lower bracket.

Of course, I'm extrapolating based on observed MP-skill, which might not translate as well to duels.

Edit: I also predict Ling's first pick will be Nieflheim

You underestimate me Squirrel. I can beat either Baalz or Wraithlord, though it is nice to see them fighting each other in one of the first matches.
